So My Day...

Has been productive. Quite productive.

I've written the dream sex sequence for Jonathon's dream about Rose in Zeppelins. I've written them waking up in bed together and getting a bit heated. I've figured out a name for the evil aliens, the Caligo (from the Latin), and what they can do, what Lumin is guarding in the vault at Illuminate, why it is important, how it will affect our fledgling couple, exactly what the relationship between Donna and Lumin is, and worked a bit on You're What?, too.

Not to mention answering a backlog of 200 comments here and a half dozen at Teaspoon (which I have been keeping up better with because of it's low volume). Sorry it took me so long to respond to some of this week's reviews. I got a bit overwhelmed in my own head. Well, if you followed my meltdown over chapter 11 of Zeppelins you know that. But it's going swimmingly now. So yay.

No new story updates tonight, though. I'm tired and sleepy so bed is where I'm headed. Tomorrow should bring fic, though.

Lol, your method of alien naming is superior to mine. Mine typically involves this thought process: "Long word or short word? How about medium, maybe three or two syllables? I think I'm in a Z mood tonight; it'll need at least a z or two..."

(Is it really just me, or are Teaspoon reviewers the worst? Like, 22 people like Taking the Plunge enough to favorite it, which at least means they track updates. But only 3 people a chapter can drop a, "Hey, I liked this?" Lol, "Settling In" has 36 comments total on Teaspoon for its 15 chapters... and 42 people favorited it. No sense-making!)

Well, sometimes. I didn't think too hard when I came up with the Lurvins. Or the Ganyites from Ganymede. And sometimes I use your method too. Did that for the Ritauels. But if I'm in the mood to look things up in Latin or Greek I will go for that.

Teaspoon used to have a lot of reviewers before the mod changes in January. A lot of people who really reviewed a lot there defected here. At least a lot of my readers did. Now, though, not so much. I see my page counts and I'll get 300 people reading a chapter and 3 will review. Or with Hunger Moon, over 100 people have favorited it, yet the last chapter I posted there didn't even get one. What's that all about? That I don't get. Although I'm slowly building up a new readership there of people who have joined in the last few months and my review count is starting to go up bit by bit. Especially folks I hooked with Zeppelins who are now going through the rest of my stuff, too. So yeah, they read and go, bit rude, but that's why my main base is here now. Because I like the interaction and the reviews that feed my flame.
